Hisense A7CC 6.7" Kaliedo 2 Color e-Ink Review

- The major selling point of this Color E INK smartphone is that it has a giant 6.7 inch screen, which blurs the line between e-reader and phone. This device uses E INK Kaleido 2, for better greyscale, vibrant colors and a great experience. It works with most international carriers and has 5G internet, for fast downloads.
In this review video we primarily take a look at the color experience, since the hardware is basically the same as the Hisense A7, this model just has a color filter array. You will get a sense on the UI, app performance, ebooks, magazines and manga.

As I get migraines with even slight lcd/led use, I'm hoping they keep working on this technology. Not sure I can justify the purchase yet, but It seems like a lot of people see it as a novelty instead of a necessity.
I like it just because of the battery life it gives and I just love the technology! Hopefully they keep working on it and it gains popularity on mobile and portable devices
Very informative! You explained why the white not so white compared to the traditional black and white ink screen.
I looking forward for this screen tech. I hope that soon those screen will be smoother and more colorfull . If they could reach something like 15 or even 24 fps, it would perfect for most people and use.
It would have been nice knowing if the battery life of the device is affected, or what other advantages using an eink color display with a backlight offers. Nice video anyway.
When watching videos and doing heavy stuff, battery is generally not better than normal devices. It can be worse when watching a lot of videos since batteries aren’t that big.
I never knew we'd actually have E-ink PHONES which is pretty cool. I'd buy one for business use.
Honestly I could totally see myself using this, having my e-reader make phone calls/text and use spotify would essentially eliminate the need for me to have two separate devices. Yeah things like video playback would suck but the whole point of e-ink is to read so I imagine for anybody who wants to focus on reading this wouldn't be a huge downside. More battery life than the average smartphone too, and much easier on your eyes. If they had a more polished non-chinese version I would seriously consider getting one.
Great specs and better clarity. But due to its size the a5 pro cc is the best color eink phone in my opinion
What is the battery life differences between the a7cc, the a7, and the a5cc pro?
Is it possible to listen to spotify or other music app while the monitor is off? thank you.
Does the A7 have the speaker pack?
Is the speaker pack the speaker that is not located in the ear piece but located somewhere else specificaly for it thereby making it a higher quality speaker? Where as the A5 had a speaker in the ear piece where the phone meets the ear, but was not as good quality?
Hi!Thanks for The review.Can you have Google Play and Multilanguage on It?Thanks
do these phones work on the Verizon network?
Thanks for the review. It seems that a standard black ink screen is the better option (IMO) as the background is more white.
yes. this is kaleido 2. kaleido 3 or 4 will maybe be better than b/w
I was excited about this device and ready to purchase until I realized it doesn't support enough cellular frequencies to work properly in Canada. :(
Are there any comparable eink smartphone to the A7 scheduled to be released this year? Thanks for the review and comparison.
No. Onyx says it'll release a phone too but thats been in development for a long time now without any update since last year
I was wondering too
SHould I go for colour or monochrome? The normal e ink one looks so clear and sharp but the colour one looks so dull as if I will always have to keep the frontlight on to even see anything in doors.
so, i can use the 7cc in b&w mode? it's possible?
A7 screen seems mush sharper and clearer vs the CC. I wouldnt go for a color e-ink for smart phone, I want to see the screen clearly.
What are the photos like?
Do A7 cc ( colored version) has option to make screen black and white? Or it is by default to have color screen only?
If i get one of these to use in the UK - will i be able to get a signal as well as the non chinese phones designed for our networks?
It is OK in Belarus
можно ли использовать при замене e-ink экран вместо обычного ips?
Does this or any other colour e ink phones have water resistance?
As far as I am aware unfortunately they don’t. But it’s interesting to see eink phones starting to be a thing. Hopefully lots more improvements to eink phones in the future to come :)
Does this work with boost mobile in the us
Excellent!!! Is there function in Hisense a7 turn off (fully) display like Amazon Kindle?
When e ink isn't changing image, it's off, uses no power
What do you give up moving from a 'standard' LCD/OLED smartphone to this eink phone?
Reactivity from the screen (not as bad as an actual ereader) : you should look videos of people using the keyboard, vivid color, camera may be a chores to get a good pics due to reactivity : let alone video.
But you will get : better battery life when it's not in use. no blue light (better on the eye), easy reading experience.
For my eyes alone, I'll buy it! Just looking a normal screen gives me headaches.
speed and less clarity
Really wish these were built for the bands in NA. *sigh* maybe the Onyx eink phone will work better
Does anybody know if Hisense will continue their eink smartphones and develop new ones in 2022?
Hi I heard New version will come out May this year
This phone protect eyes completely? I´m very interested in this phone type
It's a eink device, so yes of course !
Does it support at&t?!?!?
Was the whole video done with zero brightness?
If they can get these with a good refresh rate (at least 30hz) it would be great for a phone screen.
You would only need 16-24 fps to make a smooth transition. More is not really necessary if you are not using lcd technology, because you don't need an always-refresh-rate.
I wonder if they support Google
you must have shined a extremely bright light on those screens because the hisense a7 cc I bought has a fucking dark screen when it's front light turned off.
There is no link to buy this one

Recently I bought an A7CC. It's comfortable to eyes. But it's difficult to install Google apps, because this device doesn't have Google store.
Its screen is becoming a little bit yellow, I think the technology of Hisense isn't mature.
Hey how is it going? Where did you buy it and how much?. Do you use whatsapp and telegram, did you also watch this video on it?
@@jeisson42 yes i would alsi like to know
@@healthexposure4971 I will receive mine in a few days.
@@jeisson42 please update on how good and satisfying you found the device. I am also looking for one e ink smartphone on the markets.
And how long Last the battery?
It has a 4770 mAh battery
@@vitoribeiro how many days?
I had read from china website, mostly said the battery last only one day for the reason of CPU.
@@Jersey1225 men! that should be days. So what's the point of the device then?
@@pmwathi exactly!
They need to figure out a way to get a Google friendly version...this looks awesome, but as someone who works at a BYOD workplace, my work email won't work with this...
I was more excited about this device because it doesn't have Google spyware and backdoors
Can You turn off color mode and make it black and white in A7CC?
no you cannot
@@goodereader thanks for answer, 💔 i hope it will be anothor version for this soon.
@@goodereader Other people say I can make it
this feature in A5. I think U did not notice that in A7CC. please confirm this.
Why would want to ,if you want Bw get the A9 Pro ( 2023 )
I'm surprised that its not raised very often about these e-ink devices in general, but I would like to know how this model performs as a GPS navigator. There seems conflicting detail as to which GNSS systems are supported. If anyone has used this model for navigation purposes I'd love to hear some feedback as to how reliable it is in maintaining a satellite fix, its strength and accuracy.
Having a device that has a viewable, clear and unreflective screen for outside navigation would be great! I don't intend to use the cellular service at all (5G is an environmental/health disaster!), so I'm assuming I can still use the GPS functions in flight mode, correct?
Where the first screen😆
The only downside is the lack of google. Which for some is great, but for me not so much. This would really be the perfect phone for me if it wasn't for that.
If we could unlock the bootloader and sideload custom Roms that would be cool be unlikely
Android?
yes android10
People complain so much .... I'm buying one and you should too. Seriously why wouldn't you buy one? I'm tired of crap apps anyways I rather get back to reading.
Они сделали Гугл плей. Можешь покупать)
It looks really slow. Color eink does not add anything at the moment. If they can increase the refresh rate only then it can be even considered as a worthy contender for LCD and LED displays
Screen protector?
Please tell me there's not a ridiculous glossy screen on this one as well? *sigh*
Why isnt this tech in electric cars and hybrids yet? It will cut down on the power drain of many lcd displays and the amount of outdoor lighting car interiors see would only benefit an eink display which would need only a light at night which still would use less power than an LCD/OLED
it should be a more detailed review
at least compare A7 CC with A5 pro CC
there's one on my channel. but its in chinese though
@@einkereaderlovers4069 thanks ♥
Pronunciation of manga is painful
"It has 5G Internet"? *sigh* Jesus...
5G Wifi or 5G Data?
What's 5g wifi? Are you thinking of wifi 6 ?
@@TenOfZero1 5G Wifi, as in 5Ghz Wifi, that gets confused with 5G data... because fuck truth and hail publicity and selling stuff by fucking people over fuzzy claims... and of course, people being lazy boobs not doing any research and letting that shit propagates *sigh* The phone looks nice though... I just would they packed more Ram in this puppy. I didn't heard about Wifi 6 before though, thanks man... as fast as 5G Data then... daamn
This dude just ruined all of his credibility in the first minute. "This phones background is gray because it uses all the colors to make white". I understand he's not too technical, but damn how can I trust anything else you say after that one.
That's not how eink usually works, there are white micro capsules that make white, so this is very different from other eink displays.
@@TenOfZero1 Are you sure about that? Where did you read it? I thought color e-ink was a black and white screen with a color filter on top, so they worked the same for displaying black and whites
@ the color filter is always there. Nothing is stopping you from having part of a sub pixel not having one and being white, but in this case they did not do that it seems. So to do white they can't just remove the filter so they have to set the color components to on to do white.
@ this color version has grey color as default background, not white. So to create white it must mix colors.
